Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar stated that chinaman Kuldeep Yadav seems to have got his rhythm back and India could opt for him instead of Yuzvendra Chahal in the upcoming first T20I against Australia.
Kuldeep, who replaced Chahal in the third ODI, bowled well in Canberra to help India contain the Australian batsmen. The left-arm wrist-spinner gave away 57 runs in his 10-over quota and also picked up the wicket of Cameron Green at an important stage of the game.
“Kuldeep showed good rhythm. He bowled after long time. I think at least for the first T20 International, he can be tried out and see how it goes,” Gavaskar told India Today channel on Wednesday.
Gavaskar also feels that if Hardik Pandya could bowl two or three overs in the shortest format, it will give India an advantage.
